Facet joint problems in your spine due to arthritis is quite common, in fact some 8.5 million people have spinal arthritis.
A new device called 'DIAM, Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion', acts as a cushion and stabiliser in your back. Fortunately unlike fusion it allows some movement, and most patients get instant relief once the scar pain has settled. It was approved by NICE in November 2010.
